Flight Control System Design for Commercial Aircraft Using Neural Networks

This paper describes a neural network based approach for flight control design of commercial aircraft. A neural flight control system is used to actuate the gains of a linear controller for gain scheduling purposes without any explicit system identification. The neural network system uses reference models to specify desired handling qualities. Simulation results demonstrate the good tracking pe...

Design of Fault Tolerant Flight Control System

The purpose of the paper is to present an approach to detect, isolate and accommodate the sensor or actuator faults using bank of observer and unknown input observers (UIO). Full order observers, reduced order observers, unknown input observers and Kalman Filter are widely used in state estimations [1]. After the estimation of states, fault detection and isolation can be provided by conducting ...

Learning Aircraft Design and Flight Control System Design Using Flight Simulation as a Cdio Conduit

Flight stability and control system design are problematic areas for teaching and learning in most tertiary institutions because of limitations in implementation and operation opportunities. Implementation and operation is a critical element of student learning because of the need for students to understand the relationship between design procedures and decisions, and their consequences in flig...

Fault-tolerant Flight Control System Using Model Predictive Control

This work presents a fault-tolerant flight control system using model predictive control (MPC). The proposed technique, named feasible target-tracking MPC, filters the reference demand to guarantee feasibility of the constrained optimization. This architecture is also capable of redistributing, in a stable manner, the control efforts among healthy actuators, respecting their limitations. A traj...
